Our Combat Hapkido program is a modern, reality-based self-defense system that incorporates concepts and techniques from other martial arts. Our instructor, Phil Ventrello, is a Master Instructor and 6th-degree Black Belt with extensive experience in teaching and training. Combat Hapkido classes are designed for individuals aged 16 and up, with younger students able to participate with parental permission.
